Weekly Market Outlook: US data and earnings in focus May 10, 2021 12:00 All eyes will be firmly fixed on US economic data and the US dollar this week after a huge miss in last week’s employment figures. Economists and analysts forecasted more than 990,000 jobs would be added to the economy but figures came in at just 266,000 jobs. The US dollar sank on the news, making this week’s data important for the long-term trend of the greenback. This includes Wednesday’s Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) report and Friday’s Retail Sales number. Corporate earnings are also in focus with a variety of companies reporting, including Cisco Systems, ABN Amro, Walt Disney and others.
